Today
I may never see tomorrow;
there's no written guarantee
And things that happened
yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future,
I cannot change the past,
I have just the present moments,
I must treat it as my last.
I must use this moment wisely
for it soon will pass away,
And be lost forever,
as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion,
help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless,
make an empty life complete.
The unkind things I do today
may never be undone,
And friendships that I
fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance,
on bent knees to pray,
And I thank God with a
humble heart for giving me this Day.
